Maiden I'm sorry you're in this predicament. So your df cant provide you with some swimmers this cycle? I'll be completely honest regarding trying to pick someone up. I would be extremely concerned that you have no medical history on them and potentially what std's etc they may be carrying. Also how do you go about picking someone up as a sperm donor? Do you ask them point blank? Sorry for my intrusive questions and please feel free not to answer. You mentioned you live an hour or so away from a big city. Can you contact a donor place there and inquire as to whether any of their donors would be willing to meet the recipient? I understood from previous posts that meeting the person donating is quite important to you? Alternatively and this may seem a bit out there but perhaps try an elite escort service and explain your looking for a donor, are willing to pay, but person must meet you first to decide if you want to go ahead and have whatever medical screening you desire done at a place of your choosing. I only suggest this 'crazy' idea as it seems 'safer' to me and there may be more chance?

Pbn3, he's away until Thursday so unlikely to work this cycle. I think it's not easy to get sperm from a sperm bank here...probably it would be a process. I believe it's all anonymous too and I've been unable to find any bank in the world that allows you to meet donors. If I picked someone up yes, I'd be very upfront from early on. I'd just take the risk of potential STDs though obviously I'd ask and hopefully be able to find someone who at least claims to be clean; I wouldn't take the risk with someone who knew he had something. It's possible I'd find someone willing to donate without sex, which would lower my chance of catching anything also. I'm a good judge of character so I'm not too worried about that. My biggest concern is actually finding someone on a Tuesday night whom I deem suitable!
I hadn't thought of an escort but that's not a bad idea, rather brilliant actually! Prostitution is legal here, but are there many male escorts? I'd be fine with that if I can find one I like. Gay is fine too, as I imagine most male escorts are gay? I don't think I'd be able to get one screened in time, but they are probably all clean here. I imagine an escort would donate via cup anyway if I'm paying them. I'll see what I can find out online.
Thanks hun! And I'm so glad you'll be continuing to TTC without the time limit, that must be such a relief.
ksmom, happy to hear you got all that testing done! That's fast turnaround on the results.Last edited by maidentomother; February 29th, 2016 at 11:49 PM.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

I would also imagine escorts would need to be screened as a condition of employment as such especially they are working under a reputable name/business? Wishing you the best of luck and hope you're able to find a donor in time for this cycle

So I've put on almost 4kgs in three weeks eeek!!! Going to start le diet again tomorrow not for swaying purposes but lose weight purposes. I'm sure every gram of fat has been evenly distributed to my thighs and stomach 😠 I still have my treadmill in the lounge but its so freaking hot and humid that its an effort to breathe in and out! I may be exaggerating lol and I do have air con so maybe I'll start doing some walking again.... I've rather enjoyed the smaller version of me and cant believe how quickly the weight has come back. I even skip brekky most mornings out of pure habit. I honestly think its all the meat I've been eating - sometimes twice a day 😮. I'm sure I had more energy and felt better overall when I monitored everything!

so I tested at five this morning because I couldn't sleep and I used a first response test and it came back negative. I cried myself to sleep I will never ever ever have my daughter. Or even that other child with my shrivelled up old person insides!!' Im devastated. I will wait till the blood test but I'm what seven eight days since the transfer surely it would show up by now. Got to pull myself together for work but inside I'm falling apart.

Thanks everyone, nope nothing in reserve and no money left for anymore treatment so this is the end of the road for me. Is there any hope at all of turning it into a positive before sunday? Or am I clutching at straws?

Sorry Pinklady, Did they say how long it usually takes to implant after transfer?
